Rappers Duo YNW Melly and YNW Bortlen Charged With First-Degree Murder

Miramar Police laid down the groundwork to the final plot of the accusation surrounding James Demons and the fellow-rapper Cortlen Henry. The former is charged for plotting the deaths of two inspiring rappers: Christopher Thomas Jr (age 19) and Anthony Williams (age 21) in October 2018.

The police have further confirmed that Cortlen helped Demons to stage the crime scene as a drive-by shooting after the latter gunned down his fellow friends.

The unfortunate incident happened in the early morning of 26 October 2018. The moment Christopher (YNW Juvy) and Anthony (YNW Sakchaser) arrived at the Miramar hospital with multiple gunshot wounds, they were brain dead.
